There was an interesting shop in the mall in Santa Monica that I used to stop in at ages ago. Guy was a hippie tturned entrpeneur and he sold great stuff: fossils, books, ethnographic items and so on. Anyhoo, I bought this there and still am not sure what it is. I had thoguht that it was meteorite iron. The contract between the metal and carbon layers is striking. Length o/a is 17", tang is 5.75". Very end is bent a bit.

Cost $170 USD plus shipping
